I am very ready to leave this city.
I've been here for a week and I'm running out of things to do.
I've walked from end to end about 30 times, watched every busker, shopped for things I can't afford, watched about 7 movies a day.
I'm also tired of making 'one day' friends, who are always leaving the next morning.
Weight report: I am down 6 kilos. (probably from all the walking and lack of money to buy food)
A couple more kg's and I'll be skydivable.
Justin arrives here early Tuesday morning, which happens to be my birthday (some present)
We are hopping on a bus first thing Tuesday and starting our Kiwi Experience.
I watched some huge rugby tournament tonight with an English girl who filled me in on all the rules. Games are only 14 minutes!
Her boyfriend was at the game, and it was live, so I kept hoping to see him with another girl- no such luck.
The cars here are interesting, have you seen this? They have Cavaliers, but they are made by Toyota.
They have Hummers, but they are made by Holden.
Mid to large size pickup trucks are in HUGE demand here. I saw a 2002 fairly stock looking Dodge Ram for $120,000.
The 'all new' Chrysler 300 STARTS at $60,000.
Weird wild stuff.

Sick as a dog.
Just got back from a 3 day trip up to the Northern tip of New Zealand, to a place called the Bay of Islands.
I did a jet boat tour, sandboarded down some huge dunes, went on a few nature walks...
The trip was great, but I'm suffering from a pretty intense head cold right now.
Australia vs. New Zealand...
It's too early to tell, but there are definitely things I prefer here, and miss from there.
I love how it cools off at night here (Cairns is 35 degrees at 3am) I love being able to swim in the ocean without fear of jelly fish, and I actually prefer the kiwi accent.
I miss exotic birds flying around city streets, warm water temperatures and goon from Aussy.
Hostels and internet seem to be more expensive here, food and alcohol are a bit cheaper.
Another dating disaster.
I met this girl from Denmark at the 'Pipi Patch' hostel in Paihia and we hit it off. We were inseperable for two full days, this girl made me laugh like no other.
One night we're on the computer together and she added me to facebook- she wanted to show me pictures of her girlfriend.
